'''Steps to Perform Fresh Install:'''
# Make certain computer system is connected to the Internet, and peripherals.
# Make certain that Edubuntu installation DVD is placed in the CD/DVD drive, and boot-up the machine.<br />'''Note:''' The current server is configured to boot-up from the CD/DVD drive. If you are installing on a new system, you need to have system boot-up from CD/DVD drive (either by selecting BOOT menu, or configuring BIOS settings).
